BH ULTIMATE EVO 8.5 Review
Ludwig Döhl
As a in light terrain, the BH Racebike ticks all the boxes. BH is taking no risks when it comes to its bike handling. The moderate geometry data conveys a balanced handling. There are bikes with a more sporty, but also with more comfortable seating approach. The BH Hardtail wants to combine the best of the two worlds with a moderate orientation. A shout out to BH – we take our hats off, because a first-class price / performance ratio make the BH ULTIMATE EVO 8.5 for in light terrain a benchmark in the price range under 4500 Euro.
